"I don't even know your name, bella," he cooes at me, curling the compliment in a thick accent off his tongue. "And I don't even know yours," I sip from the strong drink the devilishly handsome man bought for me, twirling the clear drink with my delicate but well manicured fingers.

My silky smooth light-olive skin feeling so good beneath his strong, powerful hands and I wonder what they would feel like around my throat.
